still thick.

Manage to get myself lost in fog! So come on back up to ridge.  See single Cinn (Hummer) alone in scrub of ridge 8:40.
[[margin in red]] Cinn [[/margin]]

Going to try going down hill again

Hear several more Yellowbellies on the way.  The species is [[underlined]] common [[/underline]] here.

7:46 8760ft.  Hear obvious [[underlined]] torquatus [[/underlined]] Song.  NODWAH 

7:51 A few feet further down.  See single Atlapetes [[checkmark]] CXXIV. Silent and alone.  Feeding 3 ft up thick scrub (NOTE: I [[underlined]] still [[/underlined]] think that this is [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]].  But the back of its crown patch certainly is [[underlined]] very [[/underlined]] pale - altho much too broad to be [[underlined]] pallidinucha [[/underlined]].)

A little further down, see single bird [[checkmark]] perched silent and alone.  Fog is very thick.  So impossible to identify bird definitely. Probably [[underlined]] Th. cyanocephala [[/underlined]].

8:03 am.  Fog starts to lift, a little, just as I am nearing USTF area reached yesterday afternoon (this time, I found the right path!)

See a single Sooty Thrush fly by alone.

8:07. 8690ft. See single Orange-billed Saltator alone.  2 ft up in thick [[underlined]] moist [/[underlined]] scrub (sic!).

[[underlined]] It certainly looks as is fog does not encourage the formation of mixed flocks here!!! [[/underlined]]

8:25 am. 8690 ft. Fog pretty well lifted.  See definite mixed flock.  Includes 2 [[three checkmarks]] Blue and Blacks, 1 [[checkmarked]] Basileuterus type.  Latter very noisy.  Uttering R's.  Sounds like [[underlined]] nigrocristatus [[/underlined]].  All birds close together.  10 ft up in USTF - scrub, edge pasture
